A New Look for Fermilab's Web Site
This morning you may have noticed something new on Fermilab's Web site.
Yesterday afternoon Fermilab's Office of Public Affairs rolled out a new Fermilab
homepage and a new Fermilab at Work webpage. The changes in design reflect the
new graphics standards developed by Fermilab's Design
Task Force. Over the next week, Fermilab Today will present the new
graphics standards and explain their use for the Fermilab community.

Fermilab Design: Past, Present and FutureColor My Fermilab World

Two of the Fermilab colors on Industrial Building 4.

Robert Wilson and graphic artist Angela Gonzales' desire to create
a visually striking laboratory rather than a somber industrial site
led them to choose a bright, contrasting color palette.
The service buildings located around the Tevatron ring, now white,
were originally painted in a series of strong, contrasting colors
that epitomized their vision.

"Angela wanted it to look as if a child threw brightly colored
blocks randomly from the top of Wilson Hall onto the ring,"
said Ed Crumpley, manager of engineering in FESS.

Fermilab's core color is NAL Blue, developed by the Rust-Oleum paint
company in the 1970s. The complete 12-color palette includes blues,
yellows, reds and oranges. Today's designers and painters still
refer to original sets of paint chips used by Wilson and Gonzales.

Examples of the distinctive Fermilab colors can be seen today on
the brightly hued industrial buildings, detector halls and
Village houses. On the Internet, Fermilab Today and now
the redesigned Fermilab Web site greet staff, users and the
public with the laboratory's striking palette.

Wireless Network in Wilson Hall Will Require
Registration on Thursday
The migration to mandatory node registration for accessing the facility
network is in its final stages. Most of the site's network is already
operating under required registration network address service.
This Thursday, the wireless network in Wilson Hall, as well as the
network supporting conference rooms in Wilson Hall, will be cut over
to the new registration service. Systems that are already registered
in the MISCOMP node registration database will continue to transparently
get network addresses. Systems
that are not registered in MISCOMP have to complete a temporary
registration process by bringing up a browser. Upon completing the
very simple temporary registration form, users will be able to obtain
a network address that will be good for the rest of the day.
The number of temporary registration addresses a system can receive
is limited to five, so users should complete the permanent registration
in MISCOMP at their earliest convenience.

In a series of four Wine and Cheese Seminars ending this week, physicists
are showing those of us at Fermilab the striking new results from
Run II that are being discussed at conferences all over the world of
particle physics. Guillelmo Gómez-Ceballos of MIT and Simona Rolli of
Tufts summarized the results from CDF. Andrei Nomerotski of Fermilab
gave us some of the DZero results, and Gordon Watts of the University
of Washington will finish the story this Friday.

All four of these talks are very fast tours, and together
they covered some 100 separate results, by my estimate.
Many of the results give us a much better understanding of
the top and bottom quarks, the heaviest quarks, both of which
were first discovered at Fermilab. Others are the results
of searches for things not yet discovered: supersymmetric particles,
extra dimensions, leptoquarks, and exotic forms of Higgs bosons.
The physicists are entering unexplored territory on many different
fronts, and the chances for a truly surprising discovery are growing
rapidly. Most of the results shown so far do not yet reflect the data
from the terrific running in 2004, which is still in the pipeline.

A lot of exciting physics is competing to be featured in Fermilab's
Result of the Week. Stay tuned.

From the New York Times, April 3, 2004Bush's Science Aide Rejects Claims of Distorted Facts
by Andrew Revkin
The White House issued a detailed rebuttal yesterday to accusations by an advocacy group and 60 prominent scientists that the Bush administration had distorted or suppressed scientific information to suit its politics.

In a letter to Congress, which had requested a White House response, Dr. John H. Marburger III, science adviser to President Bush, said most of the accusations were false and in some cases "preposterous."

Sitewide Emergency Warning System Testing Today
The Sitewide Emergency Warning System is scheduled for testing today at
10:00 a.m. All components and voice interfaces fro CDF, DZero, FCC and Wilson
Hall will be tested. The test will begin and end with the announcement,
"This is a test of the sitewide emergency warning system." Any questions
or problems should be reported to Bill James at x8901.
